India's World Superbike round at the new Buddh circuit has been pushed back to November 17 and becomes the series' final round instead of Jerez in 2013.
A number of problems have cropped up, not least that it would appear the organisers are simply not ready to host WSBK yet, and lengthy customs processes are not helping matters.
It now means that WSBK will directly follow F1 at the track, which can't be good for attendances, and there will be another huge expense to fly all the teams halfway back across the world for one race instead of stopping in on the way back from Phillip Island.
"The World Superbike race in India has been moved from the 10 March to the 17 November due to an insufficient period of time to properly finalise the training of the marshals and medical staff around the racetrack. FIM representatives will be at the Indian track on 19, 20 and 21 this January, in order to carry out the final racetrack homologation and provide the relevant seminars about the different aspects involved in the sporting organisation of the event," said a man in an FIM vest.
